I admire JK Rowling enormously. Why? Because having attained professional success and wealth beyond the imagination of most of us, she could have taken the easy option and kept her head down. Instead, she put herself on the frontline to defend her fellow women, knowing that she would become a hate figure in the eyes of many. That takes guts and principles. Give her the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square.
For many years now I have been testing a hypothesis ( soon to become a theory ) that only 10-15% of people in any given profession really know what they’re doing
After dealing with theatrical producers this week, I’m beginning to think that their percentage is even lower
One, a possible producer for the musical of “A Fish called Wanda” , expressed concern about my lack of producing experience

Mr. Hartman is noting an interesting fact about the type of government that has been so successful in the Nordic Countries of Denmark, Norway and Sweden- along with Finland and Iceland: It's not socialism or a pink for of communism as so many analysts maintain, it's simply a very stable, sophisticated collaborative government with multiple parties for people to spread their votes into - thus guaranteeing that the Hubris of Power that has become such an obstacle to change in the US' 2-party system can't happen in those countries. Citizens have cradle to coffin safety blankets and a 50% income tax and sales tax funding formula, and businesses and corporations pay a fair share and have a large, robust middle class, stable operating environment
"If it had, that country would be on the tip of every Libertarian’s tongue, the way Democratic Socialists talk about Scandinavia where the full-on Social Democracy and regulated capitalism experiment has succeeded for generations. Doing my show from Copenhagen a few years ago, I had one of that nation’s top conservative politicians on. “So, you’re one of the nation’s leading conservatives,” I said. “I guess that means you want to privatize Denmark’s national healthcare system?” He blinked a few times, incredulous, and then said, bluntly, “Are you crazy?”

I am not sure what American voters really want to do about their type of 'government' now that we have tried 40 years of Reaganomics:
"Americans, increasingly, are figuring out the damage this failed 40-year-long experiment has done to our nation, which is why people are leaving the Republican Party in droves."
I do know that we now have the technology to beat the billionaires at their own game if 200 million commonsense voters are willing to channel $25 per month into https://voteathomedot org/ or https://www.votefromhomeusa dot org/, instead of just blaming the Republicans for a successful power train.
